In their March 2008 meeting, the NCRA Board of Directors unanimously approved the following position statement regarding the CLVS program and certification:
NCRA strongly recommends the use of a Certified Legal Video Specialist to ensure the integrity of both the videotaped legal proceedings and the utilization of the electronically recorded media. A CLVS has been trained on the professional standards, ethics, and responsibilities of creating and maintaining the record.
Additionally, the CLVS Council has released a revised mission statement that was also approved by the Board:
The Certified Legal Video Specialist (CLVS) Council sets and enforces standards for competency in the capture, utilization, and retention of legal video and promotes awareness of these standards to the legal community.
Both statements reflect exciting new growth within the CLVS community, and new enhancements to the program are coming soon!
